- Cooking Method: Baking
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Cuisine Type: Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. Remember, naked pans are no fun!
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Place aside like it’s on a mini-vacation.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. It’s an arm workout worth doing!
- Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Don’t rush the love!
- Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring every drop joins the fluffy party.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Overmixing will turn it into a rebel cake!
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula – happy batter, happy cake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your patience shall be rewarded with fluffiness!
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving. Sneak a piece if you must, we won’t tell.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Swap whole milk with almond milk for a nutty twist. Use coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar to bring an island vibe.
- Garnishing Options: Add a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream. A little zest of lemon or orange can add a zing!
- Cooking Tips: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Sift the flour for extra airiness. Patience, grasshopper — don’t open the oven door until it’s time.
